A couple of evenings spent going through online archives for land history.
From National Archives I found some searchable ancient deeds for the land around and presumably including my field plot at Farndon.
Some of the land rents around the 1400s include a pair of gilt spurs or a rose presented at mid-summer to the local lord.
Further delving brought up some documents held locally at Chester at the County Archives.
I've booked a map table and a folder of documents from the 1700s to view at the end of next week...
Other stuff unearthed includes the field used to launch an attack on the Holt Castle across the River Dee during the Civil War.
